Similar Covers: Women in Black (Part 4)

I just came across A Little Stranger by Kate Pullinger yesterday and thought the cover looked familiar... Sure enough, it’s the same photo as on the cover of The Widow’s Season by Laura Brodie. A Little Stranger was published by Serpent’s Tail in the UK in 2007, while The Widow’s Season was published by Berkley Trade, an imprint of Penguin USA, in 2009.

Hi--I'm Laura Brodie, author of The Widow's Season, and it's so disappointing to see these duplicate covers! Here I thought that the art department at Berkley had come up with something original just to match the mood of my story...Sigh.
